Life Math with Porter Lori

This episode is about my relationship with the idea of loving someone else and myself and monsters that are created FROM love and the monsters created from being WITHOUT it.

We all have our own monsters...some of them are worse than others.

This is my first episode of 2023 after taking a bit of a sabbatical.

In this episode I talk about the freedom that comes with caring less.

I explain 2 important sources of motivation I've been able to tap into and

also, the voice in all of our heads that we need to start having conversations with.

In the past 2 years my wife and i have made huge changes in our lives. We are both fiercely independent, lived in cities most of our lives and basically not the kind of people our friends ever saw settling down at all. Because so much has happened we've both gotten a lot of "shock and awe" kinds of comments and they're mostly just friendly jokes... but what people dont know is that our story started a really long time ago and the way that we approached our relationship is one you dont hear of often so I decided to let the world in on a few things. It's not just about us though, its about all the different ways there are to love and be loved...and how it's necessary to open our minds to the fact that life isn't going to come at you exactly how you envision it.

Thanks for listening

Everyone will have their opinion on what happened at the Oscars between Jada, Will Smith and Chris Rock. In this episode I break down everything I saw not only as I was watching it but everything I witnessed in the aftermath. For me, the biggest shock was the response I saw from women on social Media. A lot of these women I know and have seen post a million things about "toxic masculinity" but when it came time to call it out for what it was...no such things occurred. I also saw people attempting to make it an issue of race, of masculinity, of valor and so on...but for me it was none of those things. 

Everything that occurred as result of Chris Rock making a joke at The Oscars was the result of 2 peoples very fragile ego's.

Enjoy!

Some people just cant get enough, do enough, live enough...and nowadays if you're trying to keep up with anyone but yourself

there's a good chance that you'll never receive more of whatever you're after. 

This episode speaks to the health or sickness of always wanting more. 

Quotes have played an important part of my life since my early teens when I found a very old book of quotes at a yard sale. A good quote is short, but once unpacked can provide as much knowledge and perspective as any book. With "Behind the Quote" I unpack my favorite quotes in a short amount of time and hopefully they provide as much inspiration, motivation and introspection for you as they do me. 

This is the start of something new for Life Math. The next 11 episodes will be dedicated to Porters self-choice guide called "Wake Up. Win.Repeat". This little booklet was written as a reminder that we all have the ability to choose joy at every part of our day, its just up to us to choose it. 

The episodes will be the roll-out and at the end the booklet will be available as physical copies at a price that will make it so you can buy one for yourself and someone you care for. 

Have a listen!

There's hardly anything new to say about sex but theres infinite perspectives on how it feels, how you should make it feel for others and how we handle a lifetime filled with it. This is one of those moments that are rarely shared from a mens point of view and Porter talks to you like there's nobody else in the room.

I started dating when I was 30yrs old living in Los Angeles working in the television business. 

I stayed single for 15yrs before settling down.

I learned more than a few things along the way and all of it is still relevant. 

Men need guidance whether they admit it or not and women need to listen to men without interpreting, whether they think they do or not.

Press play and see for yourself...
